legislative agenda going forward. is it just, i want to come to jim and amber here, hang on for a second, who will hang out with me. is it just this unexchange? can the staff, as brian is making his point, can the staffs overcome some of this? the funny thing is, this is about they re both right, right? trump s mad because mcconnell said, you don t understand congress. he doesn t. mcconnell s mad because he said for you for seven years promised repeal and replace and you didn t deliver. you didn t. so this one episode doesn t matter at all. what matters is, and i think this is a manifestation of it, is that republicans, most of them, and i would include mcconnell, are not privately big fans of donald trump. they are not trump republicans. and his support among republicans is very, very tenuous. and with each passing month, i think it becomes more tenuous. and it s going to make it harder and harder, if donald trump needs republicans, particularly if mueller ends up acting on his
